High Performance Computing server.
The first step in login to Storm is to access ARS-VPN (swrcvpn). Ask ARS IT-Personnel for the user and password to access through Cisco ARS-VPN.
Once connected to the VPN, there are two ways to login to Storm server.
1.Using telnet-like connection ssh user_name@storm or if name resolution doesn’t work, try this: ssh user_name@10.1.2.234
2.Using VNC (Virtual Network Connector) viewer
Right now the only VNC viewer is being used in Storm is TigerVNC
Install the corresponding version of TigerVNC for your local computer Operating System.
Run the TigerVNC viewer and use the port number provided for your storm user. In the image below, the port is 4. If storm does not work, use the Storm’s internal ip address: 10.1.2.234. E.g. 10.1.2.234:4
This is a one-time-only step, you will NOT do this everytime you want to process some imagery.
To save time and avoid password and passcode requests everytime you need to access a UA-HPC server. Instead, you will type your UA-NetID password and passcode once and that is it. For the following ssh connections you should not get password/passcode requests. Your credentials are divided into public and private, the public part is sent to the UA-HPC and the private stays in your user’s folder.
